Description

Rac-1,2-Distearoyl-3-Chloropropanediol is a synthetic, chlorinated diacylglycerol derivative, a key intermediate in the synthesis of more complex lipids and phospholipids. Its value lies in its defined chemical structure, which provides a versatile platform for introducing specific functional groups into lipid backbones for research and development. This compound is primarily needed by pharmaceutical researchers and specialty chemical manufacturers working on lipid-based drug delivery systems, prodrugs, and novel surfactants.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A crucial building block for synthesizing phospholipid prodrugs and other bioactive lipid conjugates.
• Lipid Research: Used as a model compound or precursor in academic and industrial research on lipid metabolism, membrane biophysics, and enzyme studies.
• Specialty Surfactant Synthesis: Serves as a starting material for creating novel non-ionic or cationic surfactants with specific hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) properties.
• Polymer Additive Precursor: Can be modified to produce plasticizers or stabilizers for specialized polymer applications.
• Cosmetic Ingredient Intermediate: Used in the development of lipid-based emollients and delivery agents for cosmetic formulations.

Quality Control

Our Rac-1,2-Distearoyl-3-Chloropropanediol is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specifications such as assay, impurity profile, and physical characteristics is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your research or production requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is moisture-sensitive (hygroscopic); keep the container tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere such as nitrogen or argon for long-term storage to prevent hydrolysis.
